Compelling graphics but not to the levels of the competitor Battlefield 3.<br /><br />The gameplay hasn't changed much from previous titles, but you will notice a slight nuance of "realism" in class "Sniper" (Sniper) than in previous titles was not present. The recoil of weapons remains, in some, exaggerated or surreal. In general there is also a choice of different classes, compared to Modern Warfare series, which means that you cannot create classes that are "exaggerated", i.e. who have many upgrades to make them out of balance than normal.<br />The level of play is the usual, very simple and affordable for everyone, which is the opposite of that adopted by his rival Battlefield, which turns out to be more elaborate and requires more time for learning the game mechanics.<br /><br />The campaign mode is innovative for the Activision series. Unlike predecessors performance code: BOII has a history that can end up in different ways, depending on the choices that you make during the unfolding of events.<br /><br />Thanks to this news, and history that, as in all series, is appreciated by fans of the series and also by casual player who purchase the game to simple curiosity.<br />In addition, but not least, you can choose the equipment that we will use in the various missions of the story. You can unlock special weapons, which are more powerful than normal, for the enjoyment of all.<br /><br />In Call of Duty: Black Ops II is not present the system server, which means that to play online you have access to one of the many servers that the game and the player, who choose to acquire a server, put at our disposal. Which for many it can be a bad thing, but in reality, it turns out, personal opinion, which is very pleasant and functional.<br /><br />Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820915352237377897noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750534806175691874.post-37375518591348828682012-11-26T20:01:00.001-08:002012-11-26T20:01:38.994-08:00Dark Souls Prepare To Die Edition TipsThe most challenging RPG console world deserve a place of honor among PC gamers, and has finally reached the expected conversion of From Software's hand. Yes, it's a disastrous and shoddy port, but still the same great game that you could enjoy on Xbox 360 and PS3, and also brings new content much more substance than it appears. In his day and published an article with 11 essential tips to overcome Dark Souls, because if a game could resist thousands of players, this was it. The vast majority of them are still as useful today, but successive patches and new content "Artorias Abyss" have changed some rules. Whether you're a new player like you already got over on consoles, here are some extra tips so you do not break your neck. If you are a skilled player, you may search strategies and builds for PVP in full wiki.<br /><br /><b>• </b><b>Buy yourself a command and install the patch resolution</b><br /><br />Anor Londo, impressive high resolution<br />This I have heard in all analyzes of the planet, but if you say it's for something. Keyboard and Mouse Play Dark Souls is the equivalent of driving a plane in the middle of a storm with medieval gloves: the perfect recipe for disaster. This game requires high precision, and not going to make more than one command. If you can be the official Xbox 360, better, because it seems that the traditional pads give certain buttons mapping problems. Yes, the game is so good that it is worth spending 30 euros on a command for him.<br /><br />The increased resolution patch is completely optional, but seeing the amazing graphic enhancement that brings it seems a very tempting option, and more in a game with an artistic design as powerful as this. Easy to install in less than a minute to get what port programmers have failed in months. Here's the download. Regarding other mods that circulate and increase the rate of frames per second, not working in online mode, since the game is designed so that everyone plays at 30 frames accurate. And now, you lose the game best.<br /><br /><b>• </b><b>Get Artorias Great Shield as soon as possible</b><br /><br />There are many shields in the game, but the best (at least for your first time) is undoubtedly the Great Shield of Artorias. No, it has the best stats, but it has something special: incredible stability. Even the beast just blows you will drop more than a small portion of stamina, you can handle doing a rain of espadazos without inmutarte and energy you still on to release a couple of swipes. If you are someone who is hiding behind a shield, do not hesitate to go for it as soon as possible. Heads hyperactive as the Demon Goat will crash again and again against the shield, and with the right level, all DLC bosses lost much of its punch (especially Artorias himself, who does not give a minute of rest).<br /><br />To achieve this, you must defeat the wolf Sif in the bowels of Dark Garden, and bring your soul to the gunsmith Anor Londo, you will create a shield in exchange upgraded to +10. Yes, it requires some effort, but you will save tens of trouble in your first game, and a few in the second and subsequent.<br /><br /><b>• </b><b>Summons friends more easily</b><br /><br /><br />One of the worst things about Dark Souls on the PC version is that the invocations are harder to do than ever, thanks to a questionable online code and many people have bad ports open. If you want to stay with a friend and by many brands that put on the floor he does not get to call you to see your world, it is normal that the place makes its signal spectrum several times until it becomes visible. However, some users indicate that there is a simpler way to get seen. Apparently, whenever a spectrum puts his mark on the ground is assigned to a server, and if the host is not in it, will be able to see it. If replaced, the entire process is restarted, it is assigned another server, and just maybe the time has changed, the old brand find its host, resulting in an error. This is because there is a delay between when someone places a mark and that it appears in the world of another player.<br /><br />The solution: The spectrum puts his mark, and assigns server 1, say. The host does not see him, but instead of waiting, he puts his mark every half minute or so, making the host itself is the jumping from server to server. When one reaches the server, see the mark of the spectrum, it takes a while active, and will call more quickly. In short: the host is the one to refresh your signal to give to the invoked. Yes, it's a strange method, but the forums are full of people who claim that it is much more useful. If you are a good friend agencies, have dominated half of the game.<br /><br /><b>• </b><b>Do not visit the DLC to be at least level 65.</b><br /><br />If you come from the console version, it is tempting Oolacile visit soon to see what new areas await. Well, you will find a Guardian of the Shrine you will leave your face as a map in the blink of an eye. Unless you're an ax when dodging, you better stay away Oolacile area well into the game, preferably having defeated the Prime Evils, just before the end. So go with a decent level and you have a chance.<br /><br /><b>• </b><b>The new bosses are hyperactive</b><br /><br />The Guardian of the Shrine lash against you every few seconds. Artorias not leave you a moment's respite. Magus attacks overtake you in the distance. Kalameet burn you if you're not careful. They all have something in common: every few seconds you will get hit. Or wake up well the Great Seal of Artorias and have patience (have to go cold turkey on strike) or armor you wear and you do well ligerita shooting like crazy. The area is for experienced players, and here a misplaced stroke can wipe out your whole life in an instant. Now it is quite normal to see signs of invocation, but if you run out of humanity or not you're lucky, you better choose one of two strategies and go to death with them.<br /><br /><b>• </b><b>When you're done with the extra area, kill all the characters.</b><br /><br />I'm sorry, but in Dark Souls no room for pity.<br />Interestingly, none of the new characters in the Prepare to Die Edition are very important. Just sold little more than junk, not sorely missed. When we have finished everything we want to buy, it is murder, no matter how cruel it sounds. Kill the Pimp Marvelous Chester will not be a problem for many, but gives a little sorry killing Hawkeye Gough. Of course, before finishing with the latter killing Remember Kalameet before, as you will be given his bow. By ending Gough, for example, get your armor, a set that can not unlock it any other way.<br /><br />Ciarán is a special case: as we return to go through a battlefield of Artorias we ask for your soul in exchange for his two arms, but not the bear, leaving it more profitable to fight to get them, so that the soul will retain to forge new and interesting weapons.<br /><br /><b>• </b><b>Farmea Humanity in the Abyss</b><br /><br />No more children to farm skeleton in the ass of the Tomb of the Giants. Now there's an easier way to get humanity, and it is killing the Abyss Humanities. Near the last bonfire find a good group of docile souls who fall in seconds, and find almost every trip a treasured black (recommended put on the Ring of the Serpent). In a few trips, we Humanities sufficient to invoke, level up in Fraternities and open shortcuts, which is not bad.<br /><br /><b>• </b><b>Kill Magus, the Father of the Abyss, more easily</b><br /><br />Two concepts: The Silver Earring and wolf Sif. The silver pendant is a useful subject of endless uses that will create a short (but useful) golf denial of dark magic around you, which is especially welcome in your fight against Magus, and even in PvP, if the other player throws you dark spells. Just do not get easier as it is well hidden, but here's a video with the steps.<br /><br />Finally, after another against the Father of the Abyss should rescue the wolf Sif. During your walks along the cliffs dark found a wolf cub howling and mysteriously disappears. If you follow his appearances will come to an illusory wall placed in front of a spectrum of humanity, and within you can rescue the wolf Sif and get the Broken Shield of Artorias, which is not anything special. The best thing about doing this is that, during the battle against Magus, see a signal invocation on the floor if we are in human form. It appears Sif, who will fight on our side. While it hits hard, it will be ideal to distract the monster while giving few slashes in the back. Well, if we kill before facing Magus Sif, skip a very special video sequence in which we recognize our canine friend ... but that does not serve much:<br /><b><br /></b><b>• </b><b>Become the Dark Brotherhood before your second game, or you will regret</b><br /><br />The second trip through the world of Dark Souls is much more difficult than the first, but thanks to your advanced equipment and experience the jump is not as noticeable. If you are someone who wants to see the content of the game and get all the achievements of the Brotherhoods, you better do the Dark Brotherhood missions before finishing your first game. How does one become a member of the Dark Brotherhood? Well simply ignoring Frampt Serpent (the Fire Sanctuary) and ending with the Four Kings of New Londo before placing the vessel on the altar of the Lord. That is, before killing Seath, Nito and Bed of Chaos. That is, with a relatively low level. This is relatively easy to achieve in the first game, but the second can be turned into a dead end.<br /><br />The patches of the game have changed the difficulty of subsequent items, and the Four Kings, simple enemies in the first round, have become a nightmare in the second. Not only have they won in life and our shock resistance, also have attacks that pass through the shield stronger, something troubling when put together four screen. The invocation of the witch Beatrice, who both helped in the first round, now is completely useless, and worst of all, in our second round there is absolutely no one to be offered to end the kings. They are enemies so unpopular and difficult, that few players will see the sense to offer help knowing that it will result in death in most cases. Even at level 100, the Four Kings are an insurmountable obstacle alone, for many heavy armor and protection spells you have. If you want to complete the objectives of the Dark Brotherhood (perhaps the most fun for high level players), you better plan your trip well.<br /><br /><b>• </b><b>Given the tricks, Alt + F4</b><br /><br />If something wrong with PC gaming, is how easily we can find people who have manipulated the game to sink the fun of others. To make hostile invasions spectra were not enough stress, some players play dirty and see that although the largest samll them backstabbing, your life will remain intact. In these situations we have two loopholes: or run to the final boss fog (with disastrous results most cases) or end the game with Alt + F4. Yes, it is a dangerous tactic, but suicide is to give the cheater what I was looking for. If we do it quickly (and you look out not auto saved icon), you chafaremos day. I found myself completely invisible enemy (not that take the Ring of Mist), untraceable, stabbed and killed me before I could touch it. Without doubt one of the worst feelings that the game can give.<br /><br />Of course, if the invasion is legal, honorable fight to the death. It hurts, but Dark Souls is.<b>&nbsp;</b><br /><br /><b>• Do not use the Ring of Calamity gives you Kalameet</b><br /><br />Unless you like sadomasochism, of course.Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820915352237377897noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750534806175691874.post-59241491445522386182012-06-24T20:43:00.002-07:002012-06-24T20:43:37.255-07:00Tricks Fifa 12 PC<b>Tricks FIFA 12 for PC</b><br /><br />If you've recently bought FIFA 12 for your computer and you becomes much more than the popular PES 2012, because then these tricks that we in today will serve to be the best player of this popular franchise from EA Sports addressed respectively.<br /><br />These tricks make reference to the movements, inputs and special watermarks that serve to avoid the players who are on the other computer.<br /><br />Tricks for FIFA 12.<br /><br />Special moves<br />Feint with the body: L2 + left Stick left or right.<br />Drag the ball laterally: L2 and move the right stick<br />Drag back: while standing, hold L1 and then tighten the L2 + the left stick down.<br /><br />Touch of ball: press L2 + stick straight up or down<br />12 pc fifa, fifa 12 feints guide PC tricks, pes 2012 ps3 stop and drag back, tricks of the game fifa 12 comptadora, fifa12para pc tricks, tricks for fifa 12 PC, tricks fifa 12 PC, 2012 fifa PC tips, patches for fifa 12 PC, tricks for fifa 2012 fifa 12 finta body, tips and keys to fifa 2012 for pc, tricks for fifa 2012 pc, fifa 12, key tips and tricks for fifa12 pc, tricks of the game fifa 12 for pc, feints to the 2012 fifa on pc game, effect snow for the fifa 2012 pc, secrets of the fifa12 pc, fifa 12 PCs,Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820915352237377897noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750534806175691874.post-90091851843615538472012-05-31T20:44:00.001-07:002012-05-31T20:44:35.291-07:00Batman Arkham City TricksBelow the main cheats for Batman: Arkham City, running on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC, and some secrets as the alternate ending and other interesting aspects.<br /><br />All skins: in the main menu press the left (2 times), Down (2), (2) Left, right, up (2), Down to unlock the option to select any of the skins.

The game marks the eleventh installment of the NCAA Football series bearing the title "NCAA Football". Let me share with you some of the NCAA Football 08 for Playstation 3 cheat codes. Happy video gaming!<br /><br />NCAA Football 08 Cheat: Use Injured Players:<br />To use injured players while in Dynasty Mode, simply start the game as normal and play through the first kickoff, pausing the game and restarting thereafter. This will restart the game, and miraculously, your injured players will be able to play. (This has only been verified on the PS2 version).<br /><br />NCAA Football 08 Unlockable: All-Star Squads:<br />Bow Down – Unlocks All-Star Washington Squad<br />Death Valley – Unlocks All-Star Clemson Squad<br />Fumble – Unlocks 2004’s All-American Squad<br />Gig Em – Unlocks All-Star Texas A&amp;M Squad<br />Go Blue – Unlocks All-Star Michigan Squad<br />Killer Nuts – Unlocks All-Star Ohio State Squad<br />Mighty – Unlocks All-Star UCLA Squad<br />Roll Tide – Unlocks All-Star Alabama Squad<br />U Rah Rah – Unlocks All-Star Wisconsin Squad<br />War Eagle – Unlocks All-Star Auburn Squad<br />We Are – Unlocks All-Star Penn State Squad<br />Woopigsooie – Unlocks All-Star Arkansas Squad<br /><br />NCAA Football 08 Hint: Avoid Excessive Celebration Penalties:<br />To avoid excessive celebration penalties, simply pause the game and then resume when you feel you’re in jeopardy of possibly getting called to avoid the penalty.<br /><br />NCAA Football 08 Hint: Receiver Mismatch:<br />If you're looking for an edge in a close game (or at anytime, really), try moving your best receiver to the number three spot on your depth chart. This will only work in a three or more receiver set, but if you manage to do this, your best receiver will sometimes be covered by a weaker linebacker, cornerback, or safety.<br /><br />NCAA Football 08 Hint: Campus Legend Mode:<br />During Campus Legend Mode, your scholastic achievement is important. So, for instance, if you need a boost to your player's GPA, choose to go study with a tutor. This will increase your test scores, and eventually, your GPA will increase. You could also choose to study on your own, which will give you possible questions and answers on your tests. Simply write down the answers or keep a laptop handy, where the answers can be quickly researched on the internet.Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820915352237377897noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750534806175691874.post-34336341193826275912008-11-30T00:33:00.002-08:002008-11-30T00:34:40.529-08:00Macromedia Shockwave GamesAlmost 400 million people have installed the Macromedia Shockwave player on their computers. This allows them to play free online games which have an astounding level of quality and detail. Shockwave is Macromedia's first multimedia player and predates the existence of Flash. Though it was specifically designed for movies, Shockwave has become the tool of choice for developing online games.<br /><br />The 3D engine used with Shockwave is the most powerful in existence today for online games. It has surpassed even Java in popularity. Most developers now use this amazing tool to create free online games. All flash files can be played in the shockwave player. The Shockwave engine renders objects much faster than Flash, and it also works with the video hardware on the user's computer. The only problem with Shockwave is that it is not available for Linux. The Linux community is lobbying to change this.<br /><br />The free online games produced using the Shockwave engine are nothing short of impressive. It is believed by many experts that further advances in this technology may allow it to compete with console games in the future. While this may sound slightly far fetched, it is far from being impossible. Many argue that the graphics capability of the Shockwave engine can compete with or surpass that of the PSP or Nintendo DS. While this is up for debate, there can be no doubt that Shockwave is a force to be reckoned with.<br /><br />Games can be produced in Shockwave for any genre. Racing games, RPGs, fighting, and simulators are all currently available in Shockwave. Many of these free online games require users to meet certain system requirements in order to play them. This is the only downside which separates them from console games. All games which are designed for a specific console will work. With Shockwave you need to have a computer which is powerful enough to play them. The most powerful advantage Shockwave games have over console games is cost.<br /><br />While many of these games may be free, some cost as little as $9.95 per download. This is a lot cheaper than the $40 you will pay for a PSP game, or the $60 you will pay for an Xbox 360 game. As better games are released in Shockwave, we may see a shift in popularity from console games back to computer games in the future. Shockwave has made a huge impact in free online games and their developement.Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820915352237377897noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750534806175691874.post-44521372335913947632008-11-30T00:33:00.001-08:002008-11-30T00:33:46.940-08:00Improving Spelling with GamesYou got it! You can do just about any type of learning for a child or an individual learning a second language through the use of various computer games. You are sure to find something that will fit with their needs. You are also able to find a game that will keep them interested. Let's take spelling as an example.<br /><br />Many kids struggle each and every year at school with that dreaded Friday spelling test. It doesn't get any easier because chances are good that the words just keep getting harder. For many parents, spelling is often a challenge to teach as well. The English language is nothing simple. But, what if you could teach them through the use of a PC game? That would be excellent, wouldn't it?<br /><br />Think about this. The next time your child comes home with that awful list of twenty words they just have to know, you can easily say to them, "Why not go play a game on the computer." Yes, you can do this!<br /><br />There are a number of games that are just perfect for teaching children the art of spelling. For example, you might want to try a word puzzle game like Beesly's Buzzwords. Or, if Spiderman happens to be your child's favorite character, you have games like Spider-Man 2: Web of Words. In this game, you child can advance through the levels by correctly spelling words. Its fun, rewarding, and most of all, it will help to improve their spelling capabilities.<br /><br />The spelling games are not boring, dull, and difficult. To the opposite, these games will hold your child's attention so that they can get the knowledge they need. That is what makes these games different. If you are thinking back to your school days and those boring computer programs you were allowed to play and wondering how your technology loving child is going to play with something like that, don't worry. These games are much different. They are made to stimulate your child's knowledge without even allowing them to realize that they are. To them, they are simply playing a Spider Man game.<br /><br />The value of these games is huge. In fact, there are more than just spelling games, as we will see down the line. They are great ways to feed your child the knowledge that they need without boring them. When it is fun, it will get played more often. The more that it gets played, the more they can learn from it.<br /><br />So, then, what is the bottom line? You can easily allow your child to play some computer games but of course, you still need to monitor their usage. And, yes, you may have to practice those specific spelling words each week, but it may just get easier as time goes on. Here's a thought. Replace their favorite computer game with one of these for a week. They still get computer time and they still get to play a fun game. But, you get the satisfaction of knowing that they are playing an educational game as well. All in all, we think these games may be a great way to boost confidence and knowledge. Consider them for any age of child. You'll be happy that you did!Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820915352237377897noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750534806175691874.post-47730231317269245402008-11-30T00:32:00.002-08:002008-11-30T00:33:27.704-08:00How To Learn Basic Spanish Words - 5 Top TipsLearning a new language is always difficult, but we hope that these tips should make it a lot easier and hopefully fun too! In this article has we have put together five tips which you can use every day and will help with word retention and accessibility.<br /><br /><br />How To Learn Basic Spanish Words, Tip !1 - Pin The Tail On The Human<br /><br />This can be great fun. If you have a big piece of paper draw the rough outline of a human body, then using your Spanish/English dictionary, write down as many Spanish words for parts of the body as you can find on separate pieces of paper, then fold the names into two and place them in a big bowl.Then with family or friends or even just by yourself, see if you can place all the names on the correct parts of the body. If you do this a couple of times a week you will soon have the major body parts in your vocabulary of basic Spanish words.<br /><br />How To Learn Basic Spanish Words, Tip 2 - the Name Game<br /><br />The most difficult aspect of a new language can establishing a vocabulary that allows you express yourself accurately. My favorite way of getting to grips with basic Spanish words is to buy a large pack of sticky notes (post-its), then using a good Spanish/English dictionary go round the house writing the Spanish names for everyday objects on to your sticky notes and stick them on the objects. This means that every time you switch on the TV, pick up a book, play a CD or open a cupboard you can say out-loud the word written on the object. You can even do this on things like tinned foods, juices etc. One note of caution, avoid sticking paper to objects that get hot, you may cause a fire!<br /><br />How To Learn Basic Spanish Words, Tip 3 - Child's Play<br /><br />If you are learning basic Spanish words it makes sense to follow the way children learn our basic language. If you have a local library, you could go down and get a couple of Spanish language kids books aimed at starter level. If you have children of your own you could read them together. You should not be embarrassed this is a great way to learn and develop, as your vocabulary develops then move up to books with a higher reading age. If you don’t have a local library you can buy second hand books online or you may be able to find some at your local bargain bookstore. Kids TV can is another great way to pick up basic Spanish words. There are many shows especially designed to encourage kids to learn Spanish.<br /><br />How To Learn Basic Spanish Words, Tip 4 - Fridge Magnets<br /><br />You can also learn basic Spanish words by using poetry fridge magnets. If you can't buy a tub of Spanish language poetry magnets locally they are available online.When you have them there are two games to play. The first is to construct Spanish sentences that look right, then translate them to see what random weirdness has been created or alternatively try to put together a proper poem using a dictionary. You could even use the magnets the way we talked about using sticky notes in the first paragraph.<br /><br />How To Learn Basic Spanish Words, Tip 5 - Spanish Media Outlets<br /><br />When you have a good idea of the basics of the Spanish language then a great learning tool can be the Spanish language media. If you straight into a Spanish language TV Channel or newspaper it might be too intimidating, so keep it simple to start. Look through your DVD collection and see if any of your films have a Spanish language setting. The better you know the film then the easier it will be for you to follow the Spanish dialogue. It is great is if you can find English language films with Spanish subtitles, the subtitles are usually simplified making them easier to read quickly, and easier for you to understand.<br /><br />Thanks for taking the time to read this article, I think learning basic Spanish words can be a lot of fun, and I hope after reading this article you agree!Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820915352237377897noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750534806175691874.post-16946335255607751742008-11-30T00:32:00.001-08:002008-11-30T00:32:40.955-08:00Flash opens new windows and opportunities for game designersFlash is an interactive platform that has a powerful design and animation tool along with a dynamic scripting engine, bitmap rendering, as well as advanced video and audio playback. There are three main aspects: the player, the file format, and the authoring tool/IDE. Flash games can be developed for websites, interactive TV, as well as handheld devices. There is no need to adopt multiple programming languages to build games.<br /><br />It is the universal tool that permits the development of multimedia driven complex games. Games means fast, furious, efficient with rich graphics.<br /><br />Flash enables developers to build the most popular games for online gamers. It just needs to support:<br /><br />• Rich engaging graphics.<br />• Smooth download of files from the net.<br />• A playback device that can interpret downloads.<br /><br />There are three main areas: design, development, and hosting. <br /><br />The first step is creation of graphics. One must use Fireworks as well as Freehand for this aspect. The tools are compatible and fireworks allows the addition of Java script to images.<br /><br />The game development will be done in Flash by importing graphics created in Freehand and Fireworks. The graphics are then placed in Director the parent tool of Flash.<br /><br />The next part, hosting, uses a Web server. Dreamweaver MX is the tool that will create Web pages to host the game.<br /><br />And, finally Action Script is used to provide enhanced functionality.<br /><br />Advantages:<br /><br />• Integrates almost all features needed for developing a game. It is a great interactive tool.<br />• Can be used anywhere does not need additional software or plug ins.<br />• It is Mac friendly.<br />• Permits conversion from a full game to web version and vice versa.<br />• Low cost and free to distribute. Licenses for decoders MP3 and Sorensen Spark are included.<br />• Artists that can use flash easily are in plenty.<br />• Flash delivers broadcast quality images over the Internet.<br />• Permits embedding of game in power point for use in presentations.<br />• Plenty of information as well as guidelines can be accessed as well as understood by all –tutorials, articles, as well as blogs.<br />• The size of the game file remains small as the vector graphics and sound files are compressed.<br />• Learning Flash language is easy.<br />• Permits copy-paste to test components <br /><br />There are traps one must be wary of and a few cons. Know the system well to maximize its use. There are plenty of tutorials inline that can be used as guides.

One can make use of a browser or run the game as a stand alone.Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820915352237377897noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750534806175691874.post-52183545363701400932008-11-30T00:31:00.004-08:002008-11-30T00:32:07.770-08:00Classic Puzzle Games OnlineSome of the best puzzles games of our time are now available for free online. Some of them are just old classics that have made the transition to the Internet, while others focus on upgrading the old puzzle games to offer new challenges to a new generation of gamers. The great thing is that these are all games which can be played by just about anyone. The concepts involved are kindergarten level, but they require a swift mind to actually master. Anyone with some time to kill should take a few minutes and look online for a puzzle game or two.<br /><br />There are plenty of old classics available online in one of many new flash arcades. This means that you can play your favorites whenever you want without shelling out any cash. That’s pretty nice, especially since I have deep issues with paying money for something that challenges my mind. Tetris is one of the many puzzle games that has jumped online. Everyone should at least have a basic knowledge of Tetris. You line the blocks up as they fall. If you make a neat row it disappears. This beautiful concept has been in our minds since we first knew about shapes, but it isn’t as easy to do as one might think. Try organizing somewhat random shapes when they’re falling really fast. It can be a lot of fun to properly plan out all of your blocks so that your neat stacks don’t fall into chaos.<br /><br />There are new versions of these puzzles games online too though. New additions, such as Bejeweled, have actually gotten enough interest to warrant retail releases. The online versions are good enough though. These games take some of the basics of old Tetris-based games and upgrade them for a new generation. In general, they focus more on forming patterns out of random assortments. Line up similar objects, colors, shapes, etc. and they’ll disappear. This changes things considerably though, as the pace starts off at full speed. One has to start thinking and clicking as quickly as possible to keep the board under control. One mistake can cost you a lot of points or even the game. I will admit that this style of puzzle game may be too annoying or fast-paced for some people. It is definitely something different though, and the focus on mental and physical reflexes adds a new level to puzzle gaming. Any gamer should at least give this developing genre a chance.<br /><br />That’s really the beauty of it too. Just about any gamer can pick up a puzzle game and understand the concept. It’s just matching up shapes or colors, which you probably learned back in kindergarten or first grade. The nice factor is that you end up with a standard “minutes to learn, a lifetime to master” setup, where you may understand the rules but not all the nuances. This leaves something good to come back for later.<br /><br />If you want to introduce a friend to online gaming, puzzle games may be the best step. They can usually be pretty forgiving and easy to learn, so they’ll act as a good way to get a new gamer’s feet wet. In the end, it does come down to preference though. If you like to play puzzle games, then you should definitely look for your old favorites online while keeping an eye out for a new game to add to the lineup. They’re just a good way for a person to give their mind a little bit of exercise in those spare minutes of the day.Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820915352237377897noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750534806175691874.post-9651121651265298502008-11-30T00:31:00.003-08:002008-11-30T00:31:29.677-08:00Beginner's Final Fantasy XI Gil GuideHaving enough FFXI Gil is the most essential aspects of the game. Gil the major currency used when purchasing or trading items. To be a good player you will need allt he Gils you can get. No matter how great your game skills are you will need the Gils to get your equipments, armors, weapons and other items. Having the gears early in the game will help you advance to higher levels at a faster pace than others can. Here are some good tips to start your career in Final Fantasy XI.<br /><br />Warp Quest<br />This method can get you about 10k gil within an hour. You need to start with 1k to purchase a slime oil. After you've purchased the slime oil, bring it to an NPC named "Unlucky Rat" in the Metal district of Bastok in exchange for a warp scroll. The scroll sells for about a good 7-10K. Seems easy? Well slight problem with this method is that you will need to have enough fame built up before the NPC will take your slime oil. You will be required to run around town doing low level missions to get your fame up. This is where it gets a little time consuming but 10k gil an hour for a lowbie is really good. You can also redo this quest by creating a mule account and transfering 1k gil to that character.<br /><br />Just Badge Quest<br />The Justice Badge quest is located in Winhurt and will require 1 rabab tail and 4 onions to complete. you can buy the stack of rabab tail in the auction house for 50-100gil. Easy to do at low level. In the docks of Winhurst you will find an NPC that you can give the rabab tail to. He will give you the Justice Badge which sells for 500-2000 gil in the auction house. After receiving the bad, give him 4 wild ionions and you'll receive a scroll that sells up to 5000 gil. You can repeat this quest by using a mule.<br /><br />Fire Crystals<br />A stack of first crystals can sell for 2000 gil easily over at the auction house. There are 2 good methods to collect fire crystals. The more commonly used method would be the usual beat the mob down and loot method. To start you need to be around level 7-10. You will need signet cast on you at your town gates. Head out North to Gusterburg where you will be able to find many vultures. You'll only want to kill the vulters and nothing else to conserve time. To the Northwest of San D'oria there is an area full of Orcs. The orcs drop a nice amount of fire crystals as well. You can probably average about 3 stacks in an hour. 6000 gil in an hour for a level 7-10 is not too bad.<br /><br />The other method of farming fire crystals is by gardening. You start by buying a brass flower pot in the auction house, several vegetable seeds and some water crystals. You then plant the flower plot in your Mog house and put in the vegetable seeds. Feed it some water crystals, after 1-3 days you will have 17 fire crystals come out of it. You can have up to 6-8 flower pots per house, you can easily make 20-30,000 gils every 2-3 days. It only takes a few minutes to purchase the accessories and to plant them. It's a wealthy short term investment. Money growing on trees is the way I think of it.Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820915352237377897noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750534806175691874.post-89610180650832050952008-11-30T00:31:00.001-08:002008-11-30T00:31:15.152-08:00Advice On Buying Video GamesIs the local retailer's game testing system becoming your primary console? Have you resorted to subscribing to game magazines just to play the included demos? Are you having to go on a forced Ready Rice diet because you can not afford to buy the latest games? Now you don't have to, in this article we will examine ways for consumers to save money when purchasing video games.<br /><br />Avoid Buying From Offline Retailers<br /><br />One of the most worst things you can do as a consumer is to buy games, especially if they are not new, from a local retail outlet. Most of the games within these stores are overpriced even after you factor in the discount that you will get from the advertised sale price or the savings through the store's discount card. If you have too, then its best to buy a game from the pre-owned section. Pre-owned games are generally in good condition and cost 20 % less then their counterparts, just remember to inspect the game box for any missing game manuals and the game disc for scratches.<br /><br />Search For Online Deals<br /><br />As a consumer your first choice should be eBay. Generally used games on eBay are much cheaper than the major retailer's pre-owned selection and occasionally you do find good deals. Instead of bidding on a single title you should instead try to win a lot of 10 to 50 games. Keep the games that you need from the lot and auction off the rest. Lots are generally more cheaper, on a per game bases, and in my experience these sellers do not gouge buyers on shipping costs. Also when using eBay be sure to use Paypal as the payment option. Paypal issues, several times during the year, coupons which can be used when paying for eBay items, these coupons offer an additional saving of 5 – 10% and are usually found in eBay's monthly newsletters. There are also online sites such as pricegrabber.com and dealrush.com that display weekly deals from all the major video game retailers. An advantage to using these sites is that they are updated daily meaning you can stop having to rely on the Sunday flyers to find deals. Apart from these sites you can also save money by purchasing used games from members on the various gaming forums (such as cheapassgamer.com) that you may participate in. Just be sure that the forum members that you trade with have a high iTrader rating.<br /><br />Have Patience<br /><br />Game prices fall dramatically within a span of four months. Therefore, you should consider waiting a couple of months before buying a new game. Apart from saving you money this approach also allows you to get a better idea of how good the game is and if its worth owning.<br /><br />Rent If Broke<br /><br />So why should you rent games? Because its cheap and it provides you the ability to test new games. Most of the latest games appear on the renting shelves within the first two weeks of the initial release date, and given that most major retailers charge only $4-$8 for a game rental, this is the perfect opportunity to test, review and hopefully finish the game. Renting works especially well if you just need to play the latest games without caring too much about owning a personal copy. Remember, you can always buy your favorite rented games later on in the year when they cost a fraction of the original price.<br /><br />Sell Your Games After You Finish Them<br /><br />As a broke gamer the worst thing you could is start a collection, especially with new releases. Most new games fall dramatically in price within the first few months, so its vital that you sell your new games as soon as possible. Remember, you can always rent games, either when company comes over or at times when you are bored. This method will not only provide you with additional revenue but will also insure that you are able to play the latest releases.Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820915352237377897noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750534806175691874.post-8579604712067682662008-11-24T20:13:00.001-08:002008-11-24T20:13:26.893-08:00Online Games - Play With Your Children To Stop WorryingRegular news reports and some stray studies suggest that some online games are affecting children. Parents are worried and blame the gaming industry. This approach is similar to blame the alcohol industry if your child starts drinking or blame the tobacco industry if your child becomes a smoker. What about parental responsibility? If your child attends the best of schools and colleges and does not manage to learn, is the school solely responsible? It is becoming easy for parents to blame all outside effects that can trouble their children. Same is happening with online games. The solution lies in taking your responsibility.<br /><br />Talking about online games, the varieties are many and the levels at which the games can be played are also many. As apparent, play the game with your child for some days in the beginning. Watch his/her reaction while playing the online game. Find out the violence of the game. Find out if the online game can benefit your child. Many online games can sharpen your childs skill. Rather than blaming something that your child will continue with, take responsibility and help your child learn from that. Your children will also love your togetherness. You will also spend some quality time with your children while playing online game with them..<br /><br />Todays parents are becoming so busy that they have very less time for their children. Once the child stops getting parental love and affection the child tries getting joy with other activities. Society does not produce bullies for no reason. Your children are dependent on you for all their emotional support and guidance. Please give it to them. Please join them in doing what they love. Trying to order and ask them to stop will not serve your responsibility. A responsible parent has to go much beyond that. Join them and play the online games they love to play. You can easily control the time period for which they play online games and have peace of mind.Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820915352237377897noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750534806175691874.post-7975356674955063232008-11-24T20:11:00.002-08:002008-11-24T20:13:03.963-08:00Nintendo Wii - Has Just Completed One YearCan you believe that it's already been a whole entire year since the Nintendo Wii was released? In fact, at the time of this writing, it has now been officially more than one year! Feels like just yesterday, doesn't it? Although the Wii has been out for more than a year, it doesn't officially make it the oldest "next-gen" system. That spot actually belongs to the Xbox 360, which in comparison, is over two years old. The incredible thing about the Nintendo console is it's undeniable success, and how fast it's achieved it. To give you an idea of the measure of it's success, although the Xbox 360 was released one year before the Wii, the Wii had officially passed it's sales this year!<br /><br />The success that this system has seen up to this point, has been completely unprecedented. Even after more than a year, you would still have trouble finding this console in the stores - After a whole year! As soon as the system is put on store-shelves, there's someone there to snatch it right up! Because of the hectic demand for the console, it may not seem to practical too purchase the system in person, unless of course you don't mind playing the potential "chase and catch" game. If you do though, then shopping online for the popular video game system may be your best bet of grabbing it. So, over the course of the year, the Wii has been in high-demand, and there are no signs of it slowing down. Although this may not be great news for consumers that are looking to purchase the system, it most certainly is great news for the consoles manufacturer, Nintendo.<br /><br />Until recently, video games in general have been geared more towards the "hardcore gamer", leaving little room for those casual games that might entice people with less interest in video games to give it a try. The great thing about the system though, is that it essentially bridges that gap. It brings together both hardcore and casual gamers alike. Wii sports, a game packaged with the Nintendo console, has you swinging your arms, and moving your body. Instead of using complicated button combinations to play a game of tennis for example, with the Wii, all that is required of you is the motion or swing of the controller, making it easy for people of all ages to enjoy.<br /><br />Just because the Wii may seem to be simple in controls doesn't mean that you can't play games that are more complicated. The console provides titles for both the hardcore and casual gamers. Those that have played games for several years will quickly warm up to titles like Super Mario Galaxy, The Legend Of Zelda, Red Steel, Call Of Duty, and the list goes on. Just the opposite, those that are new to the gaming scene will find fun in games like Wii Sports, Wii play, Big Brain Academy, Wii Fit, and the list goes on and on. Looking at the systems software library, it's not hard to notice the diversity of games, thus making it easier for consumers of all ages to find what they like.<br /><br />The reason for Wii's massive success is because it has managed to reach audiences beyond those that have normally been playing games. It has simplified controls, yet at the same time is using cutting-edge technology. The software available has expanded beyond titles that are available for the hardcore gamers only. It has games that can be played online at no additional cost. Most importantly though, it's user-friendly. It's these combinations, and more, that have made the Wii the must-have video game system for more than a year.Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820915352237377897noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750534806175691874.post-35951056100880208342008-11-24T20:11:00.001-08:002008-11-24T20:11:32.134-08:00Mass Grunts And TrollsAs we know, grunts are good hero killer with its normal attack.<br /><br />Grunt, is the best unit in the game conservatively speaking and will against all other units.<br /><br />The problem is that Grunt is a conservative unit. Their attack is not range. It doesn’t has auto healing like trolls. It can’t hit air. It’s not a spell casters.<br /><br />I found grunts to be the best bargain in maps containing health fountain. Those are maps like Lost temples.<br /><br />Quickly build farseer and mass grunts like crazy. Quickly creep the middle creeps near the fountain.<br /><br />Now, while creeping, your grunt will heal. Due to Grunts’ huge HP, Grunts will heal much faster in the fountain.<br /><br />Grunts normal attacks work wonder on the creeps with small armor.<br /><br />So, quickly disposed of creeps with small armors first before attacking the creeps with big armors.<br /><br />If you have enough grunts, you can start building trolls. That way, you can level up your Far Seer really fast.<br /><br />When creeping somewhere far from the fountain, Grunts really shine. No need to lure creeps and stuff. Just attack the creeps. Grunts have cheap HP. Also, when one grunts are about to die, just move that grunts to the fountain to be reused latter.<br /><br />Now, attack with all your might, once you have the earth quake.<br /><br />Retreat with town portal when necessary.<br /><br />The enemies of grunts are of course, air units.<br /><br />That’s why after about 6-8 grunts, start massing trolls. The trolls will take care of the air unit while your grunts take care the pesky hero and other ground units.<br /><br />Usually, in the middle of a fight, enemies will focus on so many things. A quick earthquake to their farm would maximize damage even further.<br /><br />When your base is attacked, try attacking enemies base. Grunts collect money every time they hit buildings. Also, with earthquake, chance is you do more damage to them than they do damage to you.<br /><br />Rinse, Repeat, Questions?Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820915352237377897noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750534806175691874.post-67336327643549038422008-11-24T20:10:00.002-08:002008-11-24T20:11:09.262-08:00How Vivendi Games Was Saved By World of WarcraftThe unit of videogames of the Vivendi, that already it was a deficitary business for the French group of media, enjoys currently of one of the biggest edges of profit of the industry thanks to a game: World of Warcraft.<br /><br />The world of warcraft game congregated more than 10 million users since its launching in 2004 and the president of the Vivendi Games, Rene Penisson, says that she created a new market for the company and the industry as a whole. "I believe that a great market is opening", said Penisson to the Reuters, in interview after the presentation of annual results of the group. "it is changing the way as the people play videogames."<br /><br />The French rival of the Vivendi, Infogrames, that controls the Atari in the United States, affirmed this month that the games online will be the engine of growth of the industry and will compose one room of all the games of the industry in three years. World of Warcraft is a game in which the users makes friends and enemies in a virtual world formed by druids, goblins and fairies, and some times find its soul-twin in the real life. Passed year, the package of expansion "The Burning Crusade" surpassed expectations of sales and the Vivendi waited that the same happens with the package for the game, "Wrath of the Lich King", that it will be launched in the semester of this year.<br /><br />Between 2003 and 2007, the Vivendi Games doubled its invoicing for more than 1 billion of euros (1,52 billions of dollar) and transformed an operational damage of about 200 million euros into a profit of 181 million. "World of Warcraft has been the essential element that it transformed the Vivendi Games", said Penisson. If the Vivendi Games did not have a so popular title, the company never would have obtained the affection of the Activision, the producer behind the successes as "Guitar Hero" and which the French group closed a partnership of 18 billion dollar in December of the passed year, Penisson said. The Vivendi Games will have between 52 68 percent of the agreed company Activision Blizzard, depending on the result of offers of action.<br /><br />For 2009, the Vivendi Games foresaw invoicing agreed of 4,3 billion dollar, operational profit of 1,1 billion of dollar.<br /><br />Penisson will be the director of the new company. "the combination of the two company creates a bonanza group in terms of portfolio of products and development potential", said it.Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820915352237377897noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750534806175691874.post-87456828070237676732008-11-24T20:10:00.001-08:002008-11-24T20:10:48.251-08:00How The Games Of Today Give Us A Glimpse Of Future Gaming TechnologyI think games in the future will be even more realistic then the games we already have with our Xbox 360s and Play Station 3s. Microsoft and Sony will more than likely come out with something even more insane like a virtual game or something and that would be the game of the century. To have a virtual game that you put on but still used an Xbox or Play Station and you played shooting games like you play online today. I think that would be the best game to come out ever.<br /><br />If you just thought about what we have now and just think about we will have in the future you should be amazed because with graphics and games getting so much more finer in quality and look it going to be a good future.<br /><br />Just like I said about the virtual game thing you could have that same idea but have just sunglasses to put on and you see everything through the lenses. That would be a lightweight piece to put on yet a whole big bang of game, if you just had that and an Xbox you would be set for playing online. That would be a whole new online experience for most gamers. I wouldn't think that anyone had ever seen anything like that before.<br /><br />Also people are suggesting that they would like to be able to speak with characters from the game. The whole point of the game is to play not talk is what I think. I think if you want to talk you need to get online and play a game like Counterstrike or Day of Defeat or maybe get on Xbox live and do some Gears of War or Halo 3. That's the type of games that you should want to talk on or to. If you ever go online you will see people talking online a lot and that might motivate you to get involved. It's a lot better to want to talk to other people online then talk to a character in a game that is made to answer questions that you are going to ask unless it has a brain and can speak and think on its own. I don't think something like that would come out for at least another hundred years.<br /><br />If you are the one to talk then you should just go online or get an Xbox and an Xbox live account and get started playing shooting games online or play some type of role playing game. That's if you want to talk in the game that you are playing. You can still not talk and play online or on any other game. I think playing games online like Madden and sports games are fun and you don't have to talk with other people. Most people do like the idea of being able to talk with each other especially since you can talk with people from all over the world. I don't see why someone would want to talk with a game character in a game.Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820915352237377897noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750534806175691874.post-42836678871386478982008-11-24T20:09:00.006-08:002008-11-24T20:10:17.794-08:00Game and Movie For PSP-Where To Get Them for FreeSo if you want to download game and movie for the PSP, you will find exactly what you need here.

These free download sites allow you to download game and movie for the PSP, and a lot of other things as well. At first sight this seems like the answer to a game enthusiast's prayers, but it won't take long to find out that these sites are just an illusion. Most of the game and movie downloads are in a terrible condition. A good number of them won't even work, and even some of those that do will need working on. Added to this is the far more serious problem of potential danger to your computer, through viruses, trojans, and malware, and you will see that these sites are absolutely fraught with danger. As well as this, you will find that the PSP game and movie selection is very old, and you will understand why these sites are such a poor idea. You would do well to stay away from them completely.<br /><br />A “free membership” service. These sites do genuinely offer you a free membership, and then they do give you access to the free game and movie downloads. What they don't bother to reveal is that each individual download has to be paid for. These sites are not honest and open about the fact that you are charged for each download. Apart from hiding their charges, these sites are not cheap anyway, so you are left wondering what exactly is the point of it all? You may as well purchase the game from an offline store, and get a disc and a box for it.<br /><br />A genuine movie and game download site. These are the sites that are strongly recommended. When I first got my PSP a while ago I spent a long time just searching for a reliable, trustworthy, download site. It was very annoying at first, but now I've found some really good ones. The only slight negative factor is the upfront fee of around $30 to $40 you need to pay, but at least that is a one off. Once you have paid this once, you then have access to unlimited downloads. This system definitely works. Initially I was wary of the joining fee, but that has paid for itself many times over with all the game and movie for the PSP that I have downloaded. It is not always that easy to download MP4s from some of these sites, but a large number of the genuine ones will give you all of the software you need to get these kind of files onto your PSP.<br /><br />It is my greatest hope that this guide to downloading game and movie for the PSP will prevent you from being swindled by the all too common disreputable sites. If you find a good genuine site and pay the initial joining fee, you will find that the investment will pay for itself many times over in the long run!Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820915352237377897noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750534806175691874.post-16022945104308394942008-11-24T20:09:00.005-08:002008-11-24T20:09:53.042-08:00Finding Your Identity in Online GamesAs of today, there are dozens of Massively-Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMOPRG’s) slated for release or in beta. It is hard to decide on which online game to play. And most of us don’t have the time or money to play more then one game at a time. With all the competition, software companies need to come up with more creative ways of distinguishing themselves from each other and retaining their player base.<br /><br />After all the hype from the initial release of a game subsides, what keeps players engaged in the virtual world? For one thing, the game has to be fun and must continue to be fun. Beyond that, the players need to have a sense of ownership – they need to have a tangible connection and personal investment in their online world.<br /><br />Online games are an extension of our real life. What keeps us happy in the real world will often translate to what keeps us happy in the virtual world of a game. We like to feel special and have the ability to express ourselves in our own unique way. We also enjoy the freedom to choose of what we do with our possessions and time.<h5>Customizable Characters</h5>One of the most important aspects of a game is being able to customize the in-game character. Having a unique avatar or graphical representation helps players stand out. It is a key element that defines the identity of a player.<br /><br />The latest online role-playing games let you tweak a multitude of physical including hair color and style, facial characteristics, height, weight, age, and gender. This lets players create a unique, one-of-a-kind avatar that defines them in the virtual world.<br /><br />As voice chat is becoming more common in online games, players are feeling a need to customize the sound of their voice. These gamers may have spent a long time customizing the look of their avatars, why not have voices to match? Voice-changing products like MorphVOX from <a href="http://www.screamingbee.com">Screaming Bee</a> allow these players to have a unique voice that matches their in-game character, whether they choose to be a mighty giant or space adventurer.<br /><br />Opportunities to improve a character’s abilities or skills are an important feature of an online game. Just as in real world, people like to have the option of changing their lot in life through self-improvement. Between gaining skills and “leveling-up”, their online character continues to grow and improve.<h5>Possessions</h5>Another way to customize character in game is providing a variety of clothing and possessions. Just as someone can look and dress a certain way in real life, their character in game should have the option to wear variety of clothes. Unique clothing combinations provide a form of self-expression, define your character’s style and allow people to find you in a crowded tavern or spaceport. And depending one’s mood, it is nice to have a variety of outfits to wear for in game hunts or special events.<br /><br />A game with variety of loot and goodies is a big draw for gamers. Much of the excitement and interest in online games stems from the opportunity to discover new and cool treasure. People will literally spend hours and days of their real life “camping” spots on the virtual world of a game to find the latest and greatest loot or treasure.<br /><br />Having a place to call home is no different in an online world. Players appreciate games that offer player housing. Customizable player housing can be so important that the people will continue to pay monthly fees for a game that they’ve stopped playing in order to keep a house that they worked so hard to acquire. They may often trade property to other players for exorbitant virtual or real dollars.<h5>Different Roles for Different Folks</h5>Just as in real life, gamers need a purpose. After some time, all the leveling-up and acquiring new possessions can lose its luster. Online games offer professions, player driven economy, and guilds to provide players with roles and, moreover, a way of creating a virtual society.<br /><br />Interdependence on other players keeps people engaged in games because they have a tangible purpose or role in the virtual world. Some choose to be merchants who sell various goods, such as food, clothing, and weapons to other players. In return they barter for money or goods. Others can choose to be part of a guild, working for a common purpose or hunting together in larger groups.<br /><br />Online gamers will often form long-lasting friendships as a result of their time in these vibrant virtual societies. You may see the same players move from virtual world to virtual world as the latest online game is released. And in the real world, these same people will choose to spend time together and support each other in both good and bad times.<h5>Going Beyond the Virtual World</h5>The success of an online game in developing ownership can be measured by its ability to go beyond the confines of the virtual world into the personal life of a gamer. Online games haven’t isolated people as some people may argue. They instead have enriched the lives of the many players who have invested time and energy into these rich worlds.Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820915352237377897noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750534806175691874.post-90988333950082004462008-11-24T20:09:00.003-08:002008-11-24T20:09:35.745-08:00Farming Arcanist Doan With HunterI’ve previously posted an article to farming Arcanist Doan. Well here is an upgraded version using a hunter and a mage. This strategy is much more effective but requires 2 players. You're both required to be at least level 54 or if you’re well geared and think you’re an awesome player then probably level 50 should work fine.<br /><br />To start, enter through Scarlet Monastery library side. The mage needs to enter first and make yourself through the mobs. The mage is good because you can blink around them. You can easily teleport from one side of a mob to another mob with your blink ability. Once you've received Arcanist Doan you'll need to wait for the hunter to get through.<br /><br />The hunter starts little bit after the mage starts. Once you've entered, turn on your aspect of monkey. It will help you dodge enemy strikes oftenly. When you get some mobs on you, just run through and feign death. That’s it, they're all are cheated and you can wait for cool down and make your way through the guards again until you get to Arcanist Doan. Killing Arcanist Doan should be a piece of cake with two players. Just be sure to avoid detonation when he casts it. As mentioned on the previous guide, flee back before he casts and charge back at him when hes over. One of you should be an enchanter to maximize your profits.<br /><br />He drops 2 blue items, which disenchants in shard that could be sold for 6 gold pieces each, its about 12 gold per one run. Blizzard created an anti-instance farming system that only allows you to do 5 runs per hour, which is equivalent to 60 gold. Divide that with your friend and you’ll still get a good 30 gold pieces for yourself. The previous guide listed with the Rogue can get you about 20 gold pieces per hour. This one is 33% more effective.Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820915352237377897noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750534806175691874.post-23609298796259787842008-11-24T20:08:00.003-08:002008-11-24T20:08:38.025-08:00China Hunting Down Undesirable Online GamesAfter Brazil bans Counter-Strike and EverQuest to avoid violence crime, Chinese authorities recently announced that they are stepping up the crackdown against what they deem as undesirable online games.<br /><br />China said it would issue new rules cracking down on "undesirable" elements of online games amid fears of growing Internet addiction as the number of players soars, state media reported on Thursday. Reuters reports.<br /><br />The number of online game players in China rose 23 percent to 40.17 million last year, Xinhua news agency said this week, citing an industry survey. Regular subscribers, accounting for over half the players, soared 30 percent.<br /><br />The demand propelled online games sales to top 10.57 billion yuan (1.46 billion) in 2007, up 61.5 percent, the agency said.<br /><br />The industry's growth comes amid media reports of soaring rates of online addiction, and officials blaming Internet obsessions for the majority of juvenile crime.<br /><br />"Although China's online gaming industry had been hot in recent years, online games are regarded by many as a sort of spiritual opium and the whole industry is marginalized by mainstream society," Thursday's China Daily quoted Kou Xiaowei, a senior official with the General Administration of Press and Publication, as saying.Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820915352237377897noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750534806175691874.post-48053405476594614872008-11-24T20:08:00.001-08:002008-11-24T20:08:14.045-08:00Buying World Of Warcraft Levels VS Power Leveling YourselfLeveling in World of Warcraft can be very time come summing and at sometimes difficult.

It is a classic game of luck combined with strategy, as you must roll dice and then choose how best to move. The great thing about backgammon is that the rules are simple to explain, but mastering the game can take a lifetime. Unlike chess, the game is also quick to pick up and play, with games often lasting only a few minutes.<br /><br />Basically, there are two sides on a backgammon board, each with twelve spaces, for a total of twenty-four spaces. These spaces are numbered from 1 to 24 in opposite directions for the two players, so player one’s space 1 is player two’s space 24, and so on. Where each players’ counters (checkers) are placed varies depending on the rules being used, but a common configuration is five on 6 and 13, three on 8, and two on 24.<br /><br />To begin the game, you each roll one of the dice, and the player who rolls the highest gets the first turn using the numbers from both dice. The rule is that each number is a move, so if you roll a one and a six, you can move one checker one space and one checker six spaces.<br /><br />This is where it starts to get a bit complicated, but stick with it. When you’re deciding which checker to move and where, you have to consider which moves are allowed. Your checkers can only move to spaces that have no checkers, only your checkers, or only one of your opponent’s checkers – you cannot move to any space that has two or more of your opponent’s checkers. However, if you land on a space where your opponent has only one checker, you have taken it and can put it on the ‘bar’ in the middle of the board. The bar counts as ‘space zero’ for dice rolls, and any checkers there must be moved before the others can be.Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820915352237377897noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6750534806175691874.post-44894031718679046512008-11-24T20:05:00.000-08:002008-11-24T20:06:14.543-08:00An Insider Look At MMORPGMMORPG stands for Massive(ly) Mutliplayer Online Role Play(ing) Game and an MMORPG is simply a genre of computer game in which there are hundreds (usually thousands or even millions) of players from all across the world.<br /><br />In most MMORPGs the player takes the role of his or her own character and must navigate some sort of world or realm in order to complete quests and tasks. Usually these worlds will be persistent, hosted on a permanent server, and actions taken by the players will have an affect on the realm or world. Thus making it interactive, even when the player is not playing the game. This is known as being "real time" and is how MMORPGs emulate the real world. In one particular instance in World of Warcraft, an event occurred where a spell effect which lowered the players health slowly over time was spread from player to player. The disease effect got out of hand and as players ran back to towns and cities the virus spread and became an epidemic. Later, a patch was released to remedy the problem, but the community was shocked at how closely the behaviour seen in the game resembled real life.<br /><br />Most MMORPGs, such as World of Warcraft and Guildwars, are based in fantasy and myth and involve magic and spells. Some are based in space, where you must command a spacecraft or your own planet. Some are even based on the real world, and with the invention of Google maps it may well be possible to have an MMORPG world which closely emulates the real world, perhaps even being able to visit your own home!<br /><br />MUDs, or Multi-User Dungeons, were the first MMORPGs. They are usually simple text based programs where the players use commands to control and interact with their character, the world, and other players. Although simple 2D graphical versions and even 3D MUDs do exist. Similar to MUDs are browser based MMORPGs, like RuneScape, which are played entirely in the users browser. They can be simple pages of text or complex 3D renderings and offer similar functionality of more developed MMORPGs, usually for free.<br /><br />MMORPGs were virtually unknown a few years ago and now they are commonplace for most gamers. In fact worldwide revenues for MMORPGs exceeded half a billion dollars in 2005, and Western revenues exceeded one billion USD in 2006.Sunhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03820915352237377897noreply@blogger.com0
